I am looking into the descendants of Beatrice Shield who was the fifth child of William and Sarah Henderson of Aspatria, Cumberland.

Beatrice was born in 1903 and died in childbirth , date not confirmed yet. Probably when she was about 30, which would make it 1933 or so.

Her two sons were called Ronald and Lawrence and her brothers and sisters were Ritson, Lizzy,Nellie and Dicky.

\\\Beatrice and her husband and family lived at Gateshead.

Looks like there are 6 children between 1924 and 1930 have not checked to see if they survived or not though

edit

two Shield/Henderson marriages in Gateshead so probably the others belong to the other couple
